They also had kennedys deli which I loved, but that has sadly closed down now, i'd love them to come to LL...


Beckenham is a bizarre place, it has a Waitrose M&S and sainsburys all within less than half a mile of each other, along with an Odeon cinema a lidls food shop and a number of annoying chain pubs full of so called 'chavs'. Bizarre place, it even has a tory mp! It all confuses me..

cheap German Goods? oh God. Do they sell Blue Nun and Black Tower?


What about the Co-Operative bank? ED is big on the Co-op. Funeral parlour, co-op supermarket. I want the bank. That would mean I wouldn't have to endure the trawl out to bloody Lewisham to get to my nearest branch.

I was going to contact karter privately about an exciting business opportunity, but a sense of public service and the need to share overwhelmed me.


The Woolwich premises are large enough for a 24/7 East Dulwich Babe 'n' Buggy Compound. Just like those multi-stacking garages in NYC. Deposit children and/or buggies on demand and pay by the hour with a discount for overnight storage.


Want to go shopping, have a meal, or go for a drink? Dump that child.


Partner away on a business trip and need privacy? Dump that child overnight.


It could be a money machine.

the co-op supermarket (if it can be called that) are selling their own version of the much loved jute/cloth bag now, along with all the others in ED. I forget what my point is, if indeed there is a point....um


Well the co-op bank yes please, and the baby storage place, also sounds like winner.

Baby storage sounds tops. Just drug them up for the necessary period of tme, tube-feed them with an automated system and find some way of dealing with the waste products. It could eventually become a vast toddler warehouse resembling the Matrix! Best of all - noise-free!

Not a Rat & Parrot either, anymore anyway - it changes to a (spit) Zizzi pizza joint a couple of years back


When it was the Rat & Parrot I met George Underwood there - he was the guy who punched Bowie and caused the operation at Kings College hospital which led to the permanently dilated pupil. He did the cover to Hunky Dory too

I spoke to the cashier at Barclays today and he told me that the vast majority of former Woolwich branches would remain and be re-branded as Barclays, the only ones going would be those situated close to a current branch of Barclays which would not be needed any longer. When I asked him about the retail space he looked across to a colleague who I recognised as a former Woolwich employee, and she said that a number of ideas had been kicking around for well over a year, and that speculation was that a shoe shop called 'Blue Velvet' had been discussing the lease on the unit. Anyone know anything about them? Are they an indepedent shoe shop?



Not a duplicate post, my mistake.

    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.  
    • BIAB is supposed to be less damaging to the nails than Shellac. It stands for Builder in a Bottle. 
    • I have been training at the hub for just over one year. I really enjoy the variety of training offered and the quality of the instructors. Very effective group classes and enjoyable in the open air! A very welcoming place which makes a fitmess journey pleasant!  
    • We're are just about to get ready for sale, a 2 bed flat, very close to Peckham Rye park.  It has been rented out for sometime, so is in need of some TLC for it to look its best, before it goes on the market.  Would be interested to know others thoughts on whether its best to just have the place painted completely white throughout, probably with new grey flooring, or if it might be more appealing to add some colour/interest (nothing too drastic), perhaps something alittle 'warmer', with some nice (potentially dark) feature walls maybe? Wondered whether the days of going completely white might now have passed ..... It might be useful to know that its not a period or conversion property, but rather a flat in a private purpose built block.
